D'Angelo Russell Finding Success With Lakers After Feeling 'Held Back' By Timberwolves

Russell believes he is in a better position with the Lakers than he was with the Timberwolves where he felt held back.
Russell is the third option on the Lakers behind LeBron James and Anthony Davis but enjoys being able to be aggressive unlike with the Timberwolves.
The Lakers see Russell as a possible long-term solution and want to retain him though they may have to rethink their current core if things don't go well.
Russell dropped 21 points in Game 3 to help the Lakers take a 2-1 series lead over the Warriors.
Russell is set to be a free agent at the end of the season and has said he would love to stay with the Lakers.
